There is truly little left to say about Minor Threat that hasn't already been expounded on incessantly. They achieved something truly extraordinary when considering the near cavernous catalog hardcore punk acts of the 1980s: they managed to define a genre of music while never surrendering to it’s many shortcomings.
According to a flyer for this specific show, Minor Threat shared the bill with SS Decontrol, the FUs, the Necros, and the Meatmen. This being said, it seems they had no choice but to rise to the occasion and deliver a tremendous performance. The quality consists of a mono soundboard recording that generally features a decent mix. Hearing Springa’s backup vocals from the crowd during “In My Eyes” are fodder for goose bumps. Someone loses a tooth and Ian tries to return it to it’s rightful owner. Enough said. Just download it, already!
“No Reason” is incomplete on this recording. This show was released on the “12XU” bootleg LP that surfaced in 1991.

ReplyDeleteAdam, I had the same problem in Firefox on a PC. I discovered that the hyperlink is incorrect. If you copy/paste the URL into your browser, it should work just fine.
ReplyDeleteI'll try and fix this right now. Sorry for any problems.
